"Crush" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rappers Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. It was released through AWGE and Interscope Records as the second track from Carti's third studio album, Music, on March 14, 2025. The song was written by Playboi Carti and Travis Scott, alongside producers F1lthy, Ojivolta and Jahaan Sweet.

Critical reception

In a ranking of all features on the album, Billboard's Mackenzie Cummings-Grady placed "Crush" tenth and opined that the song feels more like a solo Carti song with Scott only providing adlibs, while saying that the song does not go in any proper direction. Cummings-Grady predicted the song to be another hit for the both of them although its "amalgamation of sounds feels like the beginning of an exciting new chapter for King Vamp [Carti]".[1] Angel Diaz and Michael Saponara later also ranked the song tenth of the overall album, opining that the song "feels like sitting in a church pew as they spread the Good Word over F1lthy and Ojivolta's beat that sounds like it's from a far away galaxy".[2] Vivian Medithi felt that Scott had the best feature on Music because of "Crush", describing that "F1LTHY and Ojivolta craft an instrumental that sounds like a gospel choir with blue balls having a paroxysm in the middle of a rave" and "it's extravagant and ridiculous and beyond melodramatic, but the synthesis doesn't just work—it floats".[3] In a premature evaluation for Stereogum, Tom Breihan opined that the "bloopy" keyboard "could've come from an '80s Nintendo-game soundtrack".[4]
